Description
The game's afoot once more as Holmes and Watson face off against Moriarty's gang, the Pinkertons, flesh-eating horses, a parliament of imps, boredom, Surrey, a disappointing butler demon, a succubus, a wicked lord, an overly-Canadian lord, a tricycle-fight to the death and the dreaded Pumpcrow. Oh, and a hell hound, one assumes.
Re-workings of Arthur Conan Doyle's characters continue to be widely popular in books and on television. This is a unique and exciting take on the Sherlock Holmes universe that will appeal to fans of both classic crime and fantasy. The plot cleverly combines Sherlockian themes with comedic fantasy - the author has a background in improv and has performed with Ryan Stiles and Wayne Brady of Whose Line Is It Anyway?. A brand new and thoroughly original addition to the growing and popular Titan range of Sherlock titles. It sits alongside Titan's Further Adventures, New Adventures, Cthulhu Casebooks and Encounters anthology series. G.S. Denning has previously been published by popular games company 'Wizards of the Coast' and has written a video-game script for Nintendo.

Reviews
"charming, amusing, and all around wonderful...If you're a fan of the mashup culture that's overtaking literature these days, are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, or simply want a wonderful, fun read, I cannot recommend Denning's latest novel enough." - Hey Poor Player
"Any fan of Sherlock Holmes, Elementary, BBC Sherlock, and paranormal stories would benefit from reading these novels and seeing the take on Holmes through the eyes of G.S. Denning." Gamers Sphere
"a fun series" Hype Podcast
"where else can you find demons battling on tricycles while wearing fake mustaches, yet still be on the edge of your seat wanting to know just how this story is going to end?" From Girlie to Nerdy
"I highly recommend Denning's fresh new twists to the classic cases of Sherlock Holmes to anyone who loves stories filled with magic, mystery, murder and hilarious hijinks. Warlock and John capture the readers' lust for adventure within these magical cases and provide a ton of laughs within every story." Geek Hard
"Packed with hilarious characters, paranormal events, and callbacks to the original Sherlock Holmes stories, this book is a great choice if you're into paranormal retellings of the classics" - newberyandbeyond.com
"reminds me of Terry Pratchett" RisingShadow.net
I'm completely addicted to this series, and here's hoping I won't have too long to wait until my next Warlock Holmes fix" BiblioSanctum.com
